Early years
Born Wilbur Barry Underground to town-undertaker Loughran Erren and tailor and former indie-hip-hop-stylistic-transcendentalist Sew Effin Underground (née Doughpe). Wilbur has said he remembers the moment he became Will-Barry "when some tucked-in t-shirt wearin' motherfucka talked shit one too many times" about Wilbur's softer side and appreciation of infectious Swedish pop band Ace of Base. "This anthropomorphicized-miminimalistic-Popeye-drawing eyesore had been torturing me for years 'round the town just because I bust move out to (Ace of Base chart-topping single) "Don't Turn Around" once and all of a sudden it's a problem. You know what the problem really was? It was that he didn't "See the Sign" that I'm not someone to fuck with! Nobody liked him anyway, so that's why ain't nobody cared that I put him in the ground. Literally, the weight of my body and force in which I exerted it rendered a crater in the ground shaped to his body." This is especially notable considering North Carolina is largely composed of red clay subsoil. "Yeh, so anyway I told that racist motherfucka that if he came at me again I wouldn't just plant him in the ground, I told everyone, 'I will bury his ass underground.'" Henceforth he was known Will-Barry, a Troutman, NC myth and legend. "Did I mention that guy I wrecked was a Nazi? I feel like I should include that. It's an important detail, likely the most important, please make sure to include that."
College career
Will-Barry was a local high school football legend and heavily locally recruited, though hesitant to go to a "football school" rather than an academic one fearing his priorities would be seen as maligned. Upon realizing the ridiculous cost of college tuition, even in-state, his logic was as swift and powerful as his sacks. "So you're tellin' me I'm gonna get my bachelor's degree, [uses his fingers as quotes] medically red-shirt my junior year to get the hard ass classes out of the way and use my last year of eligibility to start my masters all for free just to throw some bustas around for a sport? You realize that puts me net +48k above other college graduates on average. ON AVERAGE. You must never been to Troutman." He led the team and Sun-Belt in tackles for loss and sacks his true Sophomore, redshirt Junior and Senior seasons. He remained notably "underground" in scouting circles, seeing as high profile names from App State in the past had been largely busts. He earned praise, albeit backhanded, from former coach Eli Drinkwitz saying, "Will-Barry is a true force of nature on the field, unlike anything I've seen before. In the locker room he's a leader, a role model, a dad, a brother and to some, a mom. But who gives a shit about that because I'm going to coach at Missouri after a year with a team that wasn't mine! You believe that shit?!"
